Game 5

TUCSON - Washington's Jaime Clark dropped in a bloop single in the fifth to score Megan Owen and give Washington a 2-1 victory over Northwestern in Arizona's Pepsi Softball Classic. Owen singled, moved to second on a groundout and had moved to third on a fly ball.

Washington scored an unearned run in the bottom of the third when Owen reached on an error, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball, then scored on a delayed double-steal after Clark walked with two outs.

The Wildcats tied the game in the top of the fifth, loading the bases after one out with successive singles by Brett Nakabayashi, Erin Mobley and Carri Leto. UW reliever Tia Bollinger got a force at the plate, but Kristen Amegin singled in Mobley for the tying run before Leto was cut down at the plate on the play to end the rally.
